Suggest Remedy For The Fallen Part Tooth

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... PLEASE HELP! Part of my tooth fell out on the lower right side of my mouth months ago-no insurance or finances to pull the rest out. There is a piece that was left with a point that has been rubbing against the right side of my tongue and irritating my tongue-making it quite sore and causing some pain and bleeding. The right side of my throat and into the right side of my head aches so much at night I am finding it hard to sleep. I think I am infected and could die. I am alone much of the time so I am frightened. Also I had a cyst about the size of a nickle removed 12 years ago from the center of my chest. It was benign. Several years later it grew back and it is bigger now. Please tell me what I need to do about these problems and please suggest a doctor or a hospital in New Orleans where I can go to get some type of inexpensive help.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
When a part of tooth is fallen the rest of its cusp becomes sharp, that is why it is causing soreness of tongue. You have to get it extracted, as it can cause problem in future, so better to visit a dentist and get it removed.
Hope it will help you.
